ore 1 is a plan of on irrigating hydrant constructed in zieeoithinee with this invenntingntieltl. Four radiating tlitehes are also intlientetl lending tl\ 'tt t' from the il \'tl2l1,i to convey with? own from. four spouts with which the hydrant heotl shown is prot'i-tlutl. Fig. 4 is it \i'timl axial section on line .n'-. l ig. 1, omitting the valves. the valve stentn and their Supports and showing in axial section, the upper portion of a content Sttllltlpipe to n'hiuh tl he is attached. Fig. 3 is :1 View of the untle itle of the irrigating llC-"(l iltittttjlttlti. Fig a front elevation of the head. Fig i is it seeiion on line i i pnitti the stand, pipe.

inti-hemi (for s z holl 'its nppe lime or top pitii'ality of cups or i et each of whit-h on n stand-pipe is u very simple operation, ttlltl will be readily understood from the foregoing tlest-l'iption, it simply being required thatv the top of the stand-pipe he 21P- pioxiniotely iittntl to receive the pan 1?. A heal of plnxtie t-einent will be lil'St upplietl to the top of the stand-pipe to nnthe :1 plastic nement hetl into which the pun may he inserted suilieiently to ln'ingthe hottonw ol the spouts (3 onto the top oi the stand-pipe.

When the cement is well set, the hydrant is ready for use. i ihner may then he turned into the ii'i-igt ing inain tint allowed to i'ise in practice the installation of the head in the staml-pi )e and thereupon the irrigator may elose and open the valves at will, to shut oll' the tlow and to allow a requisite tlow from each of the spouts as, may be deemed advisable. The [low from each of the spouts may be regulated independently of that. from the others.

Each of the valve supporting bars 9 is provided at eaeh end with an upwardly pro jeetingtag it having a slot 20 to receive bolts; 21 inserted through holes .22 in the partition walls T. and seeured by nuts Said \ttllls h'lOlH inwardly toward the oritiees l and the lugs have a eorrestwmling slope so that when the ends of any bar have been seated between the partition walls of its eompartment'. sueh bar will be supported at a distanee above the floor of the eompartment to ati'ord roolu tor the neeessary play of the valve l-l-.

2t designates a gasket or valve 't'aeing of leather or the lilte on the under-side of the valve plate 5 to all'ord a tightv closure for the oriliee.

l. hydrant-head provided in its top with rompartments separated by partition means having downwardly eonverging walls: valve supporting bars mounted between said walls and provided with slotted lugs. and holts't'iassed through the slots and walls to hold saidjliiars in place.

2. A body for a hydrant-head provided with a eirenlar pan, spouts at the top of the pan and means forming eompartments for said spouts, said spouts being adapted to restv on the top of a stand-pipe into whit-h said pan may be inserted.

it. i\ eement stanthpipe. a hydrant head ol' east iron resting upon the stand-pi and forming a elose. joint therewitlnsaid hydrant head being provided in its top with eompartments separated by vertieal walls; valve supporting lmrstnouuted horizontally between said walls and provided with slotted lugs, bolts extending through the slots and walls to hold the bars in place, and valves extending through the supporting bars, there being openings in the bottom of the head controlled by said valves.

4:. A hydrant head eomprising a Hat base, an annular wall extending upwardly from the base, vertical partitions within the annular wall extending upwardly from the base, there being openings between the partitions, and spouts extending from the compartments formed by the partitions through the walls; valve supporting bars mounted between the walls and provided with slotted lugs, bolts extending through the slots and the walls to hold the bars in place, and valves mounted in the bars to close the openings .in the base.

A hydrant head comprising a flat bottom, an annular wall extending upwardly lrom the bottom, partition walls extending upwardly from the bottom and connecting to the annular wall to form compartments for the valve openings, spouts extending outwardly from the compartments through the annular wall, valve-supporting bars mounted between the partitions, slotted lugs ex tending upwardly from the ends of the bars bolts through the slots and through the walls to hold the bars removably in place; valves for closing the valve-openings, and valve.steins screw-seated in the bars for operating the valves.

.In testimony whereof, I have --hereunto set mv hand at Les i-\ngeles California this 5th day of ()etober 190T.
